Italian water tragedy: Young German drowns during swimming - Tragic incident: Italian waters claim life of a young German female
A tragic incident occurred on the Adriatic coast near Venice, close to the Slovenian border, where a four-year-old girl from the Bavarian town of Gilching, Germany, drowned while swimming.
The exact circumstances surrounding the drowning remain unclear, and the responsible authority conducting the investigation has not been explicitly mentioned. Typically, such investigations in Italy are handled by the local police and judicial authorities in the region where the incident occurred, which in this case would be the public prosecutor's office and police in Grado or its jurisdiction.
Bathers initially brought the girl to the beach after finding her in the water. Rescue services were swiftly rushed to the scene, but despite their best efforts, they were unable to revive the girl on the beach or at the hospital.
The incident occurred near the beach of a popular campsite in Grado, Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Local authorities began their investigations into the incident on Tuesday evening. The local coast guard confirmed the girl's death to dpa. The girl was later flown by helicopter to a local hospital.
The identity of the girl remains unspecified beyond her being from Germany. Italian media reported the incident on Tuesday evening, but no further details about the investigation or the incident have been provided.
Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of the young girl during this difficult time.
